11 THE 'MORNING 'OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APEIL "2, 1901. QOIVIMERGIAL AND The new month beran yesterday on Front street with a good start, .although the weather was inclement, and despite the rule of Monday dullness. The move ment o business was good especially in California produce, which arrived by eteamer in the morning. It comprised the usual consignments, all In good condition. Quotations are about the same as last week. Asparagus is higher. New pota toes are Improved in quality and steady. Receipts of cauliflower were not up to the usual grade. Excellent fresh legumes Xound ready market. The regular display of domestic lettuce was on exhibition. Ba nanas were limited, owing to delayed sup ply, but they will be on hand today. Hardly any farmers were In town because of rain. Eggs are firm at quotations. Receipts continue large, and several dealers are putting them into storage. Butter has hardly regained steadiness on its new ba sis. The market Is still weak under the influence of the California supply, which probably will lessen its pressure now that it and Oregon have approached the same level. As usual on Monday, poultry had no movement. Packing-house products were firm at last week's prices. Bank Clearances. Clearings. Balances.

The wheat markets were displaying weakness all round yesterday, and there was nothing doing locally. Holders gen erally Tequire a day or two for reflection after a .sharp decline like that of yester day before making up their minds to ac cept prices warranted by the changed con ditions. But few of the exporters cared to venture a quotation yesterday, and "Walla Walla is to a large extent nominal at -about 57 cents. Clearances will be very heavy this month, but exporters are mak ing no new engagements. Freights are unchanged, with no new business report ed.

JTBW YORK STOCK MARKET. United States Steel Securities Re ceived the Most Attention. NEW YORK, April L The prodigious volume of dealings in the United States steel securities today brought the Aggre FINANCIAL NEWS gate sales of all stocks on the Exchange' within measurable distance oX the -largest dealings on record for . single day. The largest single days' transctfoij's were those of January 7 of this year, when the aggregate sales' reached"I2,127, 503. The total of today" was 1,858,800 shares. . , - ., - - t The large part played by"' the United States Steel stocks, -even In such a broad and active market as that .of today, Is indicated by the sales, of the common and preferred, those of the United States common amounting to 26fl-,100, and the preferred to 168,800 -shares,' or for" bdth; 434,900 shares;1 which was '2 per cent' of the total dealings.' It is very evident that the activity of the United States Steel Corporation stocks on the stock exchange with their bulky capitalization of 11,000, 000 shares, according to today's amended certificate of incorporation, is to consti tute a new era in the volume 'of deal ings of the individual stocks. Single commission houses today did a sufliclent buslnes In these stocks aldne to realize a handsome fortune for the brokerage commission on their opera tions. One house was credited with sale of upwards of 100,000 shares of United States Steel preferred, and various other houses between 50,000 and 100,000 shares of either one or the other of the stocks. The resources required for the support of a stock In which the dealings are on such a large scale as it was today, and the confident purchase of all the stock that may be offered at current quota tions, staggers the Imagination. But the day's event proved that the power ful syndicate back of these securities was equal to the task. It is current belief that the market man agement of the stocks is under the- care of the most conspicuous and widely known professional operator In the street. The offerings which were hurled on the market fairly staggered the prices for a period, but they rallied and moved upward, the common rising 2 and clos ing at the top, tvhile the preferred rose an extreme 1"4, and closed within of the top. The course of these stocks had a large influence on the ultimate move ment of the whole stock market There were points of great strength here and there In the early dealings, but the pro fit taking sales were on an enormous scale and the movement- of prices was highly irregular and conflicting until past the noon hour. Many of the opening advances were about wiped out before the flnal outburst which carried prices to the highest of the day. A final real izing movement carried the most active stocks down again from 1 to 2 polrits, and made the closing very Irregular. ' Rock Island was a feature all day in spite of denials of reported consolidation with the Atchison system and of other rumors set afloat to account for the movement in the stock. A large part of the speculation was apparently base'd on the disparity betwwe its price and on the disparity between Its price and that of the other leading grangers which have had such tremendous advances In the last two months, The extreme rise in the .stock was 4J and tfte net gain 4 points. St Paul., wag strong throughout and became quite buoyant, rising 3, but falling back 1 on the re action; The Money Market. Money market conditions were entirely ignored in the eager speculative spirit. Although Government internal disburse ments are expected to yield ovej $3,000, 000 to the money market tomorrow, the absorption of cash by the sub-treasury on routine operations continues very large. Sterling exchange advanced a fraction toward the gold export point today on the large demand for stock houses who are buying American stocks abroad. After the stock market had closed, a $500,000 gold shipment to Europe for tomorrow was announced, and .more is expected during the week.- The, tone of the money market was InstlnoUy harder, but' not the slightest effect -was produced on the speculation. Conjecture was" at a loss to account for the heavy concentrated selling of the United States Steel stocks, but there was a suggestion that It was due to the purchase of an Interest amounting to several million dolllars which the C3'n dicate underwriters had agreed to sell but had decided to pass through the open market. The bond market was "not "so active relatively as the stock market, but bus iness was small and the movement of prices Irregular. Total sales were $6,035,000. United States 3s and new 4s declined Yt. per cent on the last call. " BONDS. ' ' .100 Gen. Elec 5s...., ,106 N. T. Cent. lsts. ,110 North. Pacific' 3s. .1114 do- 4st !38JrljO.
